5 Things I could have done before graduating high school
Kassandra Dasent

We all enjoy our good lives currently. It is a best thing that can happen to you in your life. Sometimes however, we do tend to think back and you feel a bit regretful for not doing so. It is no different with me.

I closed my eyes and turned back...

5. Joining a Football Team

This is one thing I could have done. It would have been an enjoyable experience if I put myself out there to train myself when it comes to self-discipline and strength. These would have made me a much strong and mature person and something that I would travel back in time for.

4. High School Clubs

It would have a much fun experience had I join two or three more clubs back in high school. One time I have asked my English teacher if I could join a SWAP club, then the English teacher tells me saying, "Sorry, only freshman or sophomore can join the SWAP club. That is why it is better to do it right now, otherwise you will miss out all the fun that you could have experienced.

3. National Honors Society

It would have been a good opportunity had I joined any sports and clubs, even considering that I was maintaining a honor roll status back in high school from freshman year all the way to the senior year. Then, my high school would have put me on the list of National Honors Society. That is why I suggest, if you are maintaining strong grade, join the sports and clubs too. It will help you in fulfilling the requirements for joining National Honors Society.

2. Hanging out with friends outside of high school

This is one of things that I could have done and it is been in my head for long. Everytime I see my friends' post in Instagram, it gives me a feeling of "I want to hang out with them". It can be emotionally upset if you were to be one of their close friends and you just got left out of that, I could had that opportunity when they are heading off to the Offshore Motel or hang out in their houses besides sports. That, I could have know them much better rather than in high school. Not to mention for the next thing of why I am bringing this up.

1. Sharing the True Gospel of Jesus Christ

The real reason why I wanted to hang out with my friends outside of high school and college alike was not because I want to have a fun experience. It is of what it was said the Bible, according to Mark 16:15-16- And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. If I had learned that nothing in this world will save me, and even giving life to Christ, making Lord of your life and Sinner's prayer will never save me either. If I had learn these back in high school, then I could have tell my friends about what God has done for us, not what we do for Him. It is by believe on the Lord Jesus Christ that you are saved. Nothing in this world will separate us no matter what.


I opened my eyes and I am back in the real world. If I overthink too much on what I should have done, the good chance is that Lucifer will use that to oppress me. If you are having a mental problem with the situation of what should I have done, always remember of what God has done for us, not what we do for Him.

1 Corinthians 15:1-4- Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:

John 3:16- For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 6:47- Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.

Acts 16:31- And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

Romans 4:5- But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

Ephesians 2:8-9- For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
